It's winter again.

It was the winter of the first year of Zhengde.

The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. Yi Hou was designed by traitors and died tragically in the chaos. The Yi family was charged with treason, Mrs. Yi hanged herself, and the eldest sister was expelled from the mansion by the Anping Palace. And all the spearheads are directed at the queen of the middle palace.

Cui Guifei secretly framed her, and forced the emperor to hang herself on the charge of murdering the emperor's heir.

She never thought that the emperor would protect her, so she also drank the poisonous wine openly, and the emperor said that the wine was chronic poison, enough for her to go to the edict.

At that time, Shen Jinglan had already been imprisoned, and he was imprisoned from the first Xiangguo. She really didn't understand how a person as smart as him could get himself to this point.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhang Guoan said softly, "Lord Shen has recruited." ”

Shen Jinglan was imprisoned for more than a month, but he refused to say a word, but now he was suddenly recruited? Easy to dissolve condensation, "What did you recruit?" ”

Zhang Guoan replied, "Collaborating with the enemy and treason, plotting to kill the emperor's heir...... in short, all those who can be recruited admit it."

In fact, everything is the same, and the left is just a death. The Yi family, the Shen family, and the emperor will not be left behind. It's just that Cui Guifei framed her for murdering the emperor's heir, and Lord Shen just confessed to one more crime.

Since he had lost her, why should he die for her?

Zhang Guoan has been following the emperor for some years, since the emperor was still the king of Jin, he has been a confidant, and he has been used to seeing life and death over the years, and people have become more and more numb. But in front of him, he actually felt some sympathy for the queen mother beside him, who was only nineteen years old, two years younger than his adopted daughter.

The queen is the daughter of Yi Hou, who has been innocent and pampered since she was a child, and she is the same as Lord Shen's childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses. She has never done anything related to power in her life, although she has the name of the queen, she does not have the power of the queen. Whatever happens, it should have nothing to do with her.

With the fall of the Yi family and the Shen family, she was like duckweed, and she had no one to rely on.

She was useless to His Majesty, but His Majesty needed to rely on the power of the Yi family and the Shen family to seek the throne...... And Shen Jinglan, who has planned all his life, is defeated after all, success is also because of her, and defeat is also because of her.

Zhang Guoan helped Yisoluble to get out of the carriage and sighed, "Niangniang, this is the edict, it's dirty and smelly......

She shook her head at Zhang Guoan, "Please arrange it for your father-in-law!" ”

She held two freshly broken red plums in her hands, and the red plums on the side of the palace wall had bloomed this morning, because this day was the end of this winter.......

Zhang Guoan took care of everything, "Niangniang, please!" ”

Walking down the narrow staircase, it was a dark and terrible place, because of the dampness, the disgusting smell of rot, and the smell of blood, which was disgusting.

Immediately after stepping into front of her was those various torture instruments, the blood stains on them were eerie and terrifying, she had also heard the deeds of Shen Jinglan interrogating prisoners in the past, he said, "No one can survive the eighteen kinds of torture in the imperial prison, that is the real hell on earth." ”

Finger pinching, sticking, skinning, broken spine, falling fingers, piercing the heart....... and many other criminal laws that she couldn't even name.

Suddenly, a black mass ran past his feet, making a "squeak" sound. Because she didn't know what it was, she was so frightened that she trembled.

The prison officer smiled, because she was dressed in the clothes of a palace maid, and only thought that she was a maid in the palace, and came for the master. He smiled and said, "Ahem! It's just a mouse. There are a lot of rats in here. ”

The prison officer said casually, "They, they bite everything, even people!" One of them was bitten to death yesterday. ”

She felt like her legs were swollen with lead, and she couldn't even take a step.

Zhang Guoan explained, and when the prison officer walked to the end of the room, he took out the key to open the lock, and the chain lock clanged.

She only felt that every step was difficult. came to the last step of this life, and it turned out to be like this.

She greeted the palace lamp in her hand, and the man in front of her was lying on his side on the straw, with his back to her. The clothes were already in tatters, and the exposed arms were red, swollen and pus-draining, and I don't know what kind of torture instrument was injured. The blood on his clothes had solidified into a black-brown color, and he shivered from the snow that had fallen from the top of the cell window.

Where's her cousin? The scholarly spirit, the young and powerful ministers, and the chic style have all been worn out...... Shen Jinglan, who is so smart and counts the hearts of the people, actually lost?

She panicked, squatted down, and opened his sleeves, but it was full of injuries, those blood scabs coagulated together, new wounds and old wounds, I don't know how many layers. Her hands trembled, and tears burst out of her eyes in an instant.

Shen Jinglan felt that someone was coming, and turned his head with difficulty, his movements were very slow and slow.

She panicked, her cousin is such a proud person, he must not be willing to see him like this, right?

She hurriedly stood up and squeezed the palace lamp in her hand tightly.

Shen Jinglan smelled the white jade jasmine incense commonly used by palace maids on his clothes, he had long been out of sight, and the bruises and bumps on his forehead had made him blind.

The plum blossom in her hand fell to the ground, and the faint and faint cold aroma was incompatible with this rancid place.

"It's plum blossoms!" His voice brightened, and he reached out to find the plum blossom, as if it were a lone star twinkling in the night, the only hope he could feel.

She handed the two plum blossoms to his hand, and he was curled up in his fingers, and he had a strip of cloth wrapped around his hand, which was soaked in blood and did not know what color it was.

He reluctantly held the two plum blossoms in his hands with two hands. Qionglin Imperial Banquet, the genius who covers the world, makes a good poem. In the twilight of the snow, the talented male plays the piano well. In Yingchun Taichun, the gentle and affectionate cousin has always held her hand and taught her to paint and write lyrics.

Pointing to the country and inspiring words, but his hands have become like this.

Shen Jinglan seemed to remember something, "At that time, I always coaxed her and coaxed her to fold plum blossoms for me." It must be a red plum blossom, with buds ready to bloom, so that it can bloom longer. ”

He cherished the plum blossom in his arms, "The only thing in this cold winter is this plum blossom." ”

He closed his eyes, "This sister is from the Fengqi Palace, right?" ”

She was still silent.

"She?" Shen Jinglan paused for a long time before gritting his teeth and said, "Actually, as long as she lowers her head and is willing to coax the emperor, the emperor still has a heart for her." After all, they are also childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses. ”

Soluble stepped back, barely speechless. His throat was choked and hot, and at this time, he even wanted her to coax others. They are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses. When did she have a childhood sweetheart with someone else, and the two had no guesses?

The people on the ground said with difficulty, "This sister, if you come to bring a message, help me bring a message back." That is, let her show me for me, the rivers and mountains are picturesque, the rivers are clear and the sea is clear, the world is clear, what does it look like for children and grandchildren to wrap around their knees? ”

trembling and added, "There are also childhood sweethearts, what does the love of husband and wife look like?" ”

Yi Rong squatted down and saw that the strip of cloth in his hand was actually a Gong Silk, and she reached out to take the Gong Silk he wrapped in his hand.

He held it in his arms like a treasure, "This worthless one can't be given to you." Autumn fragrant color, and her favorite osmanthus cake of one color. I don't know if she still likes to eat osmanthus cake? ”

That palace silk is not the color of autumn fragrance for a long time, and it is stained with blood and dirt, I don't know what color it is?

He turned to a self-deprecating smile, "There are no treasures in the palace, she must not like to eat them." His Majesty promised to give her the best. ”

"She is the mother of a country, prosperous in brocade clothes, rich in the world, full of children and grandchildren, loving husband and wife, enjoying all the glory, she will live well."

"Isn't that right? This sister? He spoke in an accentuated tone, almost pleadingly.

Yi Rong turned around and ran out.

Shen Jinglan laughed in despair. He and King Jin have two covenants in this life. One is the position of Queen Xu Yirong, who plans for him. The other is that he was tied up and exchanged death for her life of thoughtfulness and honor.

Hearing the footsteps go away, he breathed a sigh of relief, held the plum blossom with difficulty, hammered the floor heavily, and talked to himself. "But I don't want her to lower her head and coax others, she is the one I hold in the palm of my hand!"

"But I can't stand her!"

"Yue'er ......"

Even if he couldn't see, even if she didn't speak, how could he not know that it was his cousin by breath and feeling?

He just wanted the emperor to keep his promise, let her live well, and protect her for the rest of her life. He Shen Jinglan is willing to bear the infamy of the ages, and he is willing to crush his bones and scatter ashes, and he will not die well.

The things he didn't dare to say, the things he didn't dare to say in front of her, were all "faked" to this female official.

Finally, the first snow came, and the snowflakes fell on his cheeks and gradually formed frost flowers.......

He had endured it for too long, and he had finally ended his short life in prison.

"Yue'er....... I'm sorry!"

Yi Rong ran out of the gloomy prison, wanting to cry, wanting to shout, she felt that every nerve was compressed. She wanted to ask, "Shen Jinglan!" Do you hurt? Does it hurt? ”

But she didn't dare to speak, she felt a pain in her chest, and suddenly covered her chest, and a cloud of black blood vomited on the white snow was particularly dazzling, it turned out that the poison had attacked.

"I can't see the prosperity of the world you said......"

It snowed today and they walked together......
